I don’t know why Christians think they have a monopoly on
the dying-god business. The world is
awash in dying gods:
SHORT LIST OF DYING GODS
The God Osiris (Egypt)
The God Attis (Anatolia)
The God Odin (Scandinavia)
The God Iarilo (Russia)
The God Dionysos (Greece)
The God Baal (Ugaritic Canaan)
The God Melgart (Phoenicia)
The God Eshmun (Phoenicia)
The God Adonis (Canaan)The God Balder (Scandinavia)
The God Jesus (Rome)
It’s gods who die, notice, never goddesses (goddesses are
too important to die?).
Anyway, happy Dying-God Day to Christians. We love you (we don’t love your war-god
religion, though, and wish you would pitch it fast onto the scrap heap of dying
and dead religions).
Not sure if this is the day of dying for Osiris, Attis, et
al., but happy Dying-God Day to all of you too, whenever your day comes.
